Does the Amazon Kindle competent to hold other e-books from miscellaneous websitse?
Answers:
Nope. The Kindle supports ONLY Kindle-format ebooks sold by Amazon.com, no PDFs or any other format. It's been getting mixed reviews, mostly negative. I'm a hard-core bibliophile and a regular Amazon.com shopper, but I am not not NOT going to be getting a Kindle. It's not worth it. Source(s): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FI7…
I read the bad reviews on Amazon in the region of the Kindle and noticed that the bad reviews were mostly from relatives who didn't own them and had no intention of buying one. I have read some VERY good feedback on the Kindle from beta testers and folks who own them. People say it feels good within the hand, is easy to hold with one appendage and (if possible) feels as good in the foot as a book.
I too am a book person, so I don't plan to buy one at this point. However, I won't rule it out for the future. I just similar to the way books smell and feel - after reading for about a million years, I am stuck contained by my ways.
I only responded because the Kindle looks to be a pretty good device and I wouldn't want anyone to have the wrong impress.
